Hey everyone, Katie here! This week we’ve been celebrating teachers for National Teacher Appreciation Week, so I wanted to create a project that would make a good gift for any teacher in your life. These bookmarks are super easy to put together, and because they are magnetic they won’t fall out of your book!

Supplies:

Step one:

Start by printing off the Bookmark Pattern (found in the supply list) onto cardstock using a laser printer. You can use an inkjet printer, but if you’re not careful the printed lines can run when you color over them.

Step two:

Step three:

After you’ve colored the designs in, you’ll want to cut out the bookmarks. You can definitely cut them out by hand, however I used my Brother ScanNCut die cut machine to cut them out super quick.

Step four:

Fold the bookmarks in half to crease them and then unfold.

Next you’ll want to adhere on magnets to each end of the bookmarks. I recommend using a really thin magnet, so that it isn’t too bulky when you have it in your book. I wanted to make sure the magnets stayed put, so I used Tombow Xtreme Adhesive to adhere the magnets to the cardstock because it is 5x stronger than standard tape runners, and has no drying time!

Now just slip them over a page in your book and you’ll never lose your place! I think with the wise old owl, the bookworm, the pencils and the apple, these little bookmarks will make a perfect Teacher gift!
